Commentary
Section 152.802(j) and chapter 4 of the Texas Business Organizations Code (BOC) govern amendments
to the registration of a Texas limited liability partnership.
Instructions for Form
• Entity Information: The application for amendment must contain the legal name of the limited
liability partnership, the federal employer identification number, the identity of the document being
amended and the date on which the document being amended was filed. If the amendment changes
the name of the partnership, the name as it currently appears on the records of the secretary of state
should be stated. It is recommended that the file number assigned by the secretary of state be
provided to facilitate processing of the document.
• Amendments: 1. Amended Name. If the legal name of the partnership is to be changed, state
the new name of the partnership in section 1. Please note that the legal name of the partnership must
include an appropriate organizational designation. The appropriate designations are “limited liability
partnership” or an abbreviation of that phrase. If the partnership is a limited partnership, the name
must comply with the requirements of section 5.055(a) of the BOC, and also must contain the phrase
“limited liability partnership” or “limited liability limited partnership” or an abbreviation of one of
those phrases.
The secretary of state does not review the name of the partnership, or a change of name of the
partnership, to determine whether the name conforms with the entity name availability rules.
• Amendments: 2. Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN). If the federal employer
identification number stated on the original registration or any renewal has changed, is incorrect, or
the FEIN was not provided, complete this section to change or add the number. Enter the 9-digit
number assigned to the partnership by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in the field provided
without punctuation; that is, stripped of any hyphens (e.g., 123456789).
• Amendments: 3. Principal Office. Section 3 of this form can be used to change the address of
the principal office of the partnership. The principal office does not need to be in Texas.
• Amendments: 4. Number of Partners. Section 4 of this form should be used to change the
number of partners stated on the original registration or any renewal. In addition to stating the
number, please indicate whether the stated number represents an increase or decrease in the number
of partners. If the number of partners has increased, the filing fee for the application is $10 plus
$200 per any increase in partners.
In the context of the provisions of subchapter J of chapter 152, the term “partners” refers to general
partners only in a limited partnership registering as a limited liability partnership (BOC § 153.352).
